Buongiorno Italia! Verona - The City of Romance

When it’s about travelling to Italy, most people immediately think of Rome, Venice or Florence. But there’s a city in the north of Italy that is at least equally as picturesque and romantic as the others are: Verona. And today, I’ll tell you all about this beautiful place on earth! If you’re from Central Europe, heading down to Southern Italy, you pass by Verona on the highway. When spending time at the Lago Di Garda, Verona is just a few minutes from there. Therefore, it’s really easy to access and definitely worth a pit stop, a day trip or even a few days if you’d like to explore it in more detail.

Visiting the DMZ - The Korean Demilitarized Zone

I travel a lot. And I love to share my travels. But few travels got so much response as my trip to the DMZ when I visited Seoul in September. I received lots of messages of people asking me about my trip and wanting me to share my experiences. It was one of the blog posts that took me like forever to write, and I hope this way I can help anyone of you who is interested in visiting this extraordinary place.

Arizona: More Than The Grand Canyon State

Welcome back to the blog and welcome to a new blog post. Last week I told you all about Las Vegas, and I was talking a lot about all the trips you can make from Vegas. Some of these trips were to locations in Arizona, that’s why this blog post is all about them, and everything else I saw when I started exploring this US state. After leaving Vegas, I was travelling alone.

72 Hours in Berlin, Germany Part I

Last month, I rather spontaneously went to Berlin. The main reason was that I wanted to watch the recording of one of my favourite TV-shows, and as it was just the weekend of Mother’s Day, I was not able to find anyone who would go there with me. But I decided not to let me be stopped by this and went alone. So now let me start right away with everything I’ve done during my three days in the German capital.

Solo Travel in Australia Part III: Cairns, Whitsunday Islands & Melbourne

After having been to Brisbane and Sydney and loving these cities, I headed north to see some nature and visit the Great Barrier Reef. Afterwards, I went south to Melbourne before ending my trip. This is where I had a lot of bad luck, but on the other hand, everything turned out great as well.

Solo Travel in Australia Part II: Sydney, New South Wales

Despite what my friend told me, I had already enjoyed Brisbane very much, so when she told me Sydney was going to be way better, I had pretty high expectations. Due to a tight time schedule, I had about 5 days to spend there with my friend until I would continue my journey alone. Even though Sydney is the most popular of all Australian cities, it is not the capital of Australia, but still, it feels as if it were.

Solo Travel in Australia Part I: Brisbane, Queensland

Australia was my first big trip alone, and by far the farthest I went away from home. But that's quite obvious, given the fact that there are hardly any places farther away from Europe than Australia. Of course, I was nervous before my trip. Would I be okay being completely alone? Would I get lonely? Would I be able to find anyone taking my picture? I was very uncertain, so when the day came, I had mixed feelings.

Buongiorno Italia! Perugia - The Centre of Italy  

As you might have already seen on Instagram, in February, I spent a week in Perugia. For me, this city will always hold a special place in my heart, as I lived there for nearly half a year in 2018. Even though, I didn’t know anything beforehand about this city, it turned out to be the best decision ever to go there and I will now tell you exactly why.
